The One Full of Momentum

First things first…

Now that they have let the cat out of the bag, I want to offer a huge shout out and WOOOOHOOOO to two fabulous girlies for their courage and recommitment to themselves and their healthy journeys. Angie and Lynn took a big leap this weekend! Check out their posts for all the details.

And onto my Sunday…

It actually turned out to be a good thing that I skipped the craft fair and tackled my to-do list. Let’s revisit…

dust

finish vacuuming

laundry (last load drying now)

banking and budgeting

groceries

wrap gift – take to post office (x2!)

self-manicure (while watching AR)

tackle stack of magazines (in progress)

WooT!

Hopefully I can keep this momentum going.

While I worked, I snacked on coffee and a Pumpkin Cream Cheese muffin…

Later some plain yogurt with sliced banana and Kashi Honey Almond Flax cereal…

A leftover Larabar to tide me over through grocery shopping (under $30 this week!!)…

And a couple of clementines when I got home…

Dinner was inspired by the bag of local beets I have in the veggie drawer. While flipping through the latest Rachael Ray magazine I found a recipe for a ricotta and beet pasta dish, so thought I’d give it a whirl.

It was OK. The beets weren’t cooked enough (by following their directions) and I find it a bit bland (this happens frequently with RR recipes)…

It was labelled four servings but I got at least 5, maybe 6 out of it. I froze some of it so hopefully I can season it up and make it a little more tasty in the future.

After all of the standing, bending, carrying, cleaning, cooking, and puttering today my neck/arm is VERY angry with me…so my evening consists of hugging my heat pack and trying to find a reasonably comfy position to lay in on the couch. :(

Thankfully I have decaf tea, leftover Monster Cookies, and The Amazing Race to keep me entertained…
